The Tony Blair House Journal (editor Alan Rusbridger) reports on Kanye West’s disgusting private performance for the Kazakh dictator and his family, and takes a sideswipe at David Cameron for visiting that country.
But peculiarly they fail to mention that Tony Blair receives US $4 million a year as a consultant to the worker murdering Kazakh dictator, and that Alistair Campbell and Jonathon Powell as well as Blair visit to give this support – which has included a behind the scenes campaign to help Nazarbaev win the Nobel Peace Prize, fortunately with no result to date.
Oh, bugger that! Here’s the link where I think my epony is.

OK so, and then I’m fairly away from this blog for a while.
How is Resident Dissident ‘a troll’ or ‘a shill’, apart from providing reasonable questions and answers to the few reasonable questions and answers directed at him? He may disagree with many people here, but we are all for free thinking, are we not? He has rarely failed to engage or respond, as far as I am aware – and I think Jon, who has read more of this than I have, has also backed this up. I entirely support his view that another country being armed with nukes is hardly a solution to anything, for example, and am amazed how far the putative left has come, that they would be supporting the idea that it would be a good thing.
Similarly, the idea that the ‘Rothschilds’ rule the world is a peculiar and reductive one which makes no sense one way or another. Should it be true – and we might want to talk to China about that – which of the ‘Rothschilds’ are we talking about? The several members of that family who were anti the establishment of Israel (look it up)? The current directors of the merchant bank and associates who are not members of the family? Who?
I am getting to feel sick whenever I read your posts, Fedup, and it’s not just the ‘ziofuckwits’ – it’s the pissing and shitting and fucking generally. These words are sickening: especially on the page, they cause disgust. If you want to associate your views with a feeling of disgust in someone who has friends in Gaza then you are doing an extraordinarily good job of which the BNP would be proud.
Good night.
Oh yes, bring that wall dividing Palestine down, walls are evil incarnate, only good for tear jerking graffiti and sad story’s.
Humans will always refuse walls, because essentially we are herd animals.
Hope you had a few good walks, Mary, a weekend away from this malodorous assembly, me not excluded.
Still, time does stop for no one, so lets find out what is being done to Fukushima mand what the fuck is going on with the ratcheting up of tensions/hardware in the eastern Med and beyond.

I may have accidentally been munching on the poor epony while hunting for esugarlumps for him. Link text
Alas poor epony I ate the lasagna.
antisemitism is an Apartheid word, as it divides, not unites.
Those who highjack the phrase and make it exclusively ‘theirs,’ are modern-day Boers.
Nie goed nie.
For something completely different: I’ve witnessed the birth of a new phenomenon today: the Matryoshka Troll.
Welcome to this wonderful world, where dis-info and half-truths are regarded as mind-numbing poison.
Now, go get your pampers b4 the s*** hits the fan.
I agree Tech. I’m of the mind that friction is necessary to sharpen one’s knife. Metal is sacrificed in order to hone the edge. A dull knife does no good. Some, though contrary, provide the grist for the unwary.
Craig; This would be a propitious time for a new thread. How’s the spur?
You are free not to read my posts, are you not? (evidently it is free thinking, so long as ziofuckwits are concerned, the rest of us mere mortals, are just disgusting foul-mouthed, putative shite and bollocks).
However do not proceed to a bollocksological hyperbole, taking a jump into conclusions that you have no basis for. I understand your anger, after all the star troll has been banished, and that could itself be so upsetting for you.
Why do you not propose total disarmament of the nukes in the mideast? The notions that certain entities have a god given right to own nukes and others can go and suck eggs is a natural order of the world for you, and anyone who disagrees with that are just; disgusting foul-mouthed, putative shite and bollocks!
Syria is coming around to declare their wmd stockpiles, why is zionistan not following suit?
Anyone who can make nukes can own them, or no one is to own a one, but that is not the order of the envisaged world in which you are living in, is it?
“I agree Tech. I’m of the mind that friction is necessary to sharpen one’s knife. Metal is sacrificed in order to hone the edge. A dull knife does no good. Some, though contrary, provide the grist for the unwary.”
Not to put too fine an edge on it.
Yeah very true Ben; “go have another puff on your bung”, was so honing for your knife I suppose!
What are you on about?
To be in a constant state of flux which the messenger is attacked and not the message is by no means an exercise in honing.
The map does not show any of the 11 Chinese warships in the region, including destoryers, missile frigates and support vessels. The 4-ton elephant in the room that the media likes to keep quiet about, and probaly the deciding factor in the US aborting it’s planned attack on Syria.
The Chinese are despatching more this month, maybe they are anticipating an escalation. I see an Iraq scenario in the making ‘Assad refuses to let UN Weapons inspectors access”, “Assad kicks out UN Weapons inspectors” blah blah blah. No one would be surprised if they are waiting to disarm Syria of WMD before an attack – just as they did with Iraq.
The fact that the UK and France appear OBSESSED with raising a UN resolution addressing non-compliance and punishment before the ink is even dry on the current deal speaks volumes about their ultimate goal. Also, they way that they keep saying that it is the threat of force (a war of agression) that brought Assad to the table makes want to puke when it is they that have been forced to the table by Russia and China, otherwise the bombing would have started weeks ago.
The US are obsessed with the ‘punishment’ UN resolution too. John “insane” McCain may be letting the cat out the bag, Assad is going to be the next Saddam.
“We’re working on addition to the resolution to make sure that proper conditions are met with firm conditions for action”
“The one thing we can’t do is let it become a joke* like Saddam Hussein was in 2003.”

Fedup
Thanks for that comprehensive outline of your position, and ever more mucho thankos for suggesting I’m a newbie.
You say:
“These intransigent bastards are in no way capable of thoughts outside the parameters of their indoctrination, under no circumstances can they be open to any kind of change, least of all to be renouncing their criminal and inhuman “politics”.”
I think many Catholics in NI thought and said things exactly like that, word for word in fact, about Ulster Protestantism and indeed Protestants. They were in a local conflict, after all.
I’m sure it wouldn’t ever enter their heads to say anything like that today. It’s so naively reductive and kind of like gauche and embarrassing to be caught saying anything like that today. It’s so unfashionable too. They’d probably be saying it about global eiltes these days, or the Catholic Church or whatever.
The perspective has widened. It’s all big picture stuff now.
The “conflict” in NI ended when powers outside NI had no further use for it, or it clashed with other plans they had, and I believe the Palestinians will be similarly relieved when Israel becomes less important to its current allies. That could happen in all sorts of ways.
I do think that process is underway with the standoff over Syria, and what happens in Syria will be key to the direction things are going.
I’m cautiously optimistic.
And, if the balance shifts, make sure and assist it with solid argument, because fucky this and fucky that will swiftly fall ot of fashion.
I’ve seen it all before.
Very true, the only reason Syrians are not getting “democratised”, and “liberated” for weeks by now. However, the lack of Syrian blood flowing rivers, has disappointed a lot of interests.
Have you seen the Syrian “FSO” fuckwit with his dyed black hair and tash doing the rounds in the studios, and urging an attack on Assad now?!
There seems to be a total black out on the Chinese naval assets dispatched to the Med.
I’m not on about anything except moving on, fedup. Have you considered the possibility that your anger may adversely affect your physical health? Really, I love your passion and writing in many ways works to expunge, but it’s like modern-day medical ‘practice’. They treat the symptoms and not the causation because there’s more money in that process. Venting is a lot like that current medical practice. But I agree it’s better to vent than internalize that undiagnosed cause. I know you’ve lost your job, and that is a shame. I wish you well but don’t know your circumstances. It’s easy to give advice to others and I apologize for my intrusion, but I thought it best to say what I think.
=======
If you are still with me, look for ways to live in the present. If it’s not presumptuous can I suggest an incredibly honest accounting by one Ram Dass. ‘Be here Now’ Just a suggestion.
Herbie,
The day that I see a move towards a better world for the poor bastards in the mideast whom have been subject to living in abject poverty and under a constant regime of humiliation, will be a cold day in hell.
You have outlined the NI situation, and have failed to notice that there is no willingness among the outside influences that have created the fucked up situation in the mideast.
Therefore we can safely assume that until such a time that funding for the hasbara agents have been cut off, we will still be subject to the same regime of disruption and intrusion by the assigned keyboard offence brigades. However in the absence of these reactionary ziofuckwits, it would a be different world and there would be no need to disparage their efforts in “indoctrination and education” of those who have slipped the comprehensive net of the media?
If it’s a good idea to get rid of chemical weapons (of course it is), then what about US chemical weapons? Or is that a silly question because they’re good ‘cos they’re Ours?
Yes, I know the US is across the Atlantic, but my theory is they’re ours because of our vasal status.
http://news.yahoo.com/us-arsenal-lessons-syria-chemical-weapons-071108793–politics.html
And then, of course, there’s Israel’s stockpile. This surely remains a key issue whatever words we use to describe it,
http://rt.com/op-edge/israel-syria-chemical-weapons-disarmament-866/
With any luck the new realities will bring all this into focus as increasing numbers of people turn away from the patently false narratives of the corporate media, start finding out for themselves, and withdraw their support.

Ben I am in here and now!
I am living in a world of shit, that is not of my own making, because some fuckwit was playing roulette without the risk of losing, so the debts have compiled and the money has devalued, as well as the quality of life declining.
I had no part in the gambling, or mismanagement of the funds or the country, but I am paying for it nonetheless. I am legion, there are working people who are reliant on food banks, ie begging for food. The company that I worked for is among the many thousands that have gone belly up, and I am one of the many hundreds of thousands who have ended up to be without a job.
Here and now Ben is a world of shit!
It is all holistically linked Ben, a man suffering torture in a zionistan jail. that man’s rights are linked to my rights, and since he has none, my rights are eroded too. I get treated like a fugitive or criminal just because I want to fly somewhere, all for my own good evidently!
I lose my job, not because I was lazy, inefficient, or did not want to work, because the firm that worked for had no customers. The customers who are reliant on fucking food banks cannot buy much, so the firm goes belly up.
You talk about internalise, or externalise, are you retired Ben?
Yes, what Technicolour said. Firstly, I’m quite sure Resident Dissident has posted much of value here, and someone disagreeing is not at all the same as trolling. His approach seems mainly to be serious, rational debate – our recent departed contributor, on the other hand, slipped in a barbed comment in every other post.
On the stream of unpleasant invective from Fedup and co, I agree. However we’ve always put up with it, since it mostly isn’t directed at anyone here. The “Ziofuckwits” discussion has been done to death: Craig’s asked in a comment for someone to reduce their usage of it, but it’s not been a deletable offence. I’m not entirely bothered about it, personally – there’s something silly and trivial about it, and it seems to hold no power for me. The rest of the expletives really are unpleasant though, and are well over-used by some contributors.
True, we’ve had a lot of nasty language from Fred, which has been directed at people. Fred ignores my requests to calm down, claiming that he is being bullied, which I see no evidence of. I delete some of this stuff when I see it, but – being rather human myself – I am aware how easy it is to become dragged down by all the unpleasantness and vitriol. So, if there’s any inconsistency in moderation, it’s because I can’t always bring myself to wade through other people’s dirt. I continue to be grateful to contributors – whatever their political persuasion – who comport themselves with civility.
RD, you may be right about Krishnamurky. On the one hand, I was pleased to see that when faced with a ban for persistent racism, he cleaned up his act and made an interesting contribution about Syria. But, the (deleted) Holocaust-themed comments were pretty dreadful, and I did ask him not to come back. Perhaps I am unrealistically optimistic that racists of all political stripes are reformable!
We’ll have to disagree about Habbabkuk unfortunately, though as one of the rational dissenters here, I really do support your making a gentle appeal to our benevolent host. Needless to say, if Craig asks for the ban to be undone I will make the arrangements in a jiffy. I do think it is possible however for someone to hold conservative views and to see Habbabkuk’s final contribution as, absolutely, beyond the pale. I’d have just deleted it if it wasn’t for a substantial history of barely-concealed needling and being entirely impervious to repeated entreaties.
I should be very glad, incidentally, to have more conservative posters active here, and would second Mike’s thoughts on the topic. We remain in the awkward zone of being without a posting policy, a situation that will probably persist. However, I remain positive that we can make a good go of it notwithstanding, and that the fractious readership here will have a fiery disagreement about something fairly soon 🙂
RD: “Yep he was so shocked to his core that he had to rush off and get employment from the perpetrator of the deed, the salute of his indefatigability cannot be far behind. To any reasonable person the explanation can only be either prostitution or anti-westernism or possibly both. Perhaps Macky who carries something of a flame for the Gorgeous one might wish to elucidate.”
Simple, for the same reason he spent years denouncing Saddam Hussein, whilst everybody else was busy selling him weapons, and then he did he utmost to try to avert the impending catastrophe befalling Iraq & its people.
RD: “That said I shall not go crying too the moderator – I’ll leave that to yourself and other lovers of censorship.”
That’s a bit rich RD ! It was your complaint iro of Cryptonym’s post, claiming that is was anti-Semitic that lead to Jon deleting it, which Cryptonym promptly re-posted as it was NOT anti-Semitic (despite both yours & Jon’s hyper-paranoid interpretation), hence the reason he left this Blog in disgust. Already you have asked why Krishnamurky & John Goss, have not been banned (even though the former has !), and you have now accused Daniel Rich, as well as re-accusing John Goss, of being anti-Semitic.
Rd: “I should also add that I never bought into the logic of MAD and the Cold War either.”
So do you believe we should scrap Trident, & give up all of our weapons of mass destruction ?
Villager: “you gave *no* warning to an intelligent, rational, generally respectful, eloquent and undoubtedly witty regular commenter”
I think I speak for the majority here, when I state that the only correct adjective here that is not an inverse, is the word “regular”.
Village: “But if you decide to stay, you can rest fully assured that Macky & Co. will not any further be calling your ill-considered, loose-cannon moderation “shambolic. For, you have done their bidding.”
On the contrary, Jon’s failure for months to deal with such a blatant & vile Troll, is just one of my concerns about his moderating, the others remain.
Fedup: “Macky, where are the Chinese ships at?”
Sorry no idea, but Emmpey seems to know !
Mary: “I see that the trolls were bringing in my name even though I was absent”
Yes, a certain Clown Troll was actually counting the days to your return; see I told you that you would be missed !
Mike: “Without contrarians, all we’ve got is an echo chamber”
A Troll is not a contrarian; to a look at Harry’s Place to see a real echo chamber, and try posting there if this Blog is too consensual for you.
“But I agree it’s better to vent than internalize that undiagnosed cause. I know you’ve lost your job, and that is a shame.”
Yes, it is a shame, Ben. But could I point out that the ‘pissing and shitting and fucking’ didn’t start when he lost his job. He’s always talked like that. And it do get old.
I agree with Herbie too that it all probably rolls off Zionists like water off a duck. He’s achieving nothing.
g’night
Oh knock it off, Macky. Technicolour’s name has been brought in when s/he wasn’t here (I believe by you, actually) and so has mine. It’s no big deal and I don’t know why Mary seems to think it’s so important. It’s not. All sorts of people have been mentioned in their absence.
Gone
Why do you talk over me?
There is no reason for you to get involved, if you don’t like what you read, skip the fucking posts!
It is getting beyond the fucking pale for you and your gang to gang up on cleaning up the fucking language on this blog now!
Don’t like swears then don’t fucking read the post
I have no value, zilch value, bugger all value for any inputs of yours, and never have attempted to debate with you, why do you insist on trying to establish any kind of communication with me, or take it upon yourself to talk about me?
“Going into elections, Merkel says support for Israel’s security ‘part of Germany’s raison d’etre'”
http://www.jpost.com/International/Merkel-Israel-part-of-Germanys-security-rejects-anti-Zionism-326174
Mmmmm, let me try and get my head around this… nope, nothing doing.
So, how’s this going to appeal to Germany’s voters I wonder? Oh wait, it’s not for them. She must be trying to influence someone else, but who? And what do they have to do with German elections? What a mystery it all is.
Dreoilin: “Oh knock it off, Macky.”
Oh yes, I forgot “Sweet” Dreolin, you don’t do humour unless it’s your own.
(still very prickly over anything to do with Mary I see)
I’m not purposely talking over you, and I didn’t say anything about profanity. Why must you assume bad faith on anyone who doesn’t swallow your Dover sole whole. I’m not gonna get sucked into that vortex. Thanks for the advice
The reports pertaing to the PLAN in the med originate from Egypt, they were reported on as they passed through Suez. Interestingly the Chinese have a presence just of the Libyan coast as well as Syria. That is a significant deployment considering much of the arms and fighters opposing Syrian Arab Army are coming from Libya.
Des Res
Shill means pretending to be neutral but secretly supporting something unpleasant. Israeli APARTHEID is well described in its stupidity and evil by the term Ziofuckwit. It’s called British understatement.
